Putin says Russia beefing up nuclear arsenal, NATO denounces 'saber-rattling'-By Maria Tsvetkova-Reuters-June 16, 2015-[Reuters]-yahoonews
KUBINKA, Russia (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that Russia was concerned about an anti-missile defense system near its borders, after announcing that Russia would add more than 40 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) to its nuclear arsenal this year."We will be forced to aim our armed forces ... at those territories from where the threat comes," Putin said.Putin made his comments a day after Russian officials denounced a U.S. plan to station tanks and heavy weapons in NATO member states on Russia's border. Putin said it was the most aggressive act by Washington since the Cold War a generation ago.U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry expressed concern over Putin's missile announcement and said no one wanted to see backsliding "to a kind of a Cold War status."Kerry told reporters at a news briefing that Putin's stance could be posturing but he added, "Nobody should hear that kind of announcement from a leader of a powerful country and not be concerned about what the implications are."Tension has flared anew between Russia and Western powers over Moscow's role in the Ukraine crisis, in which pro-Russian separatist forces have seized a large part of the country's east after Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in early 2014.The European Union and United States imposed economic sanctions on Russia. But Washington and Moscow are still bound by a 2010 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) that caps deployed strategic nuclear warheads at 1,550 each and limits the numbers of strategic nuclear missile launchers to 800 by 2018."More than 40 new intercontinental ballistic missiles able to overcome even the most technically advanced anti-missile defense systems will be added to the make-up of the nuclear arsenal this year," Putin, flanked by army officers, said in a speech at an arms fair west of Moscow.ICBMs have a minimum range of more than 5,500 km (3,400 miles). Putin gave no more details of which missiles were being added to the nuclear arsenal.Putin said later on Tuesday that Russia wanted Ukraine to repay the $3 billion bailout bond under former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych according to an agreed repayment schedule.Putin said he thought the Minsk peace deal on Ukraine was balanced and fair and that if Russia did not agree with its contents it would not have signed it.
"SABER RATTLING"?
Putin has repeatedly urged Russia to maintain its nuclear deterrence to counter what he sees as growing security threats. Moscow also reserves the right to deploy nuclear arms in Crimea.Such comments have helped whip up anti-Western sentiment and rally support behind Putin but have caused disquiet in the West, particularly countries on or near Russia's borders that were under Soviet domination during the Cold War.Responding quickly to Putin's remarks, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg accused Russia of unwarranted "saber rattling" and said this was "destabilizing and dangerous".At a news briefing in Brussels, Stoltenberg said such rhetoric from Moscow explained the Western alliance's increased preparedness on the part of its forces to defend its member states closest to Russia."This nuclear sabre-rattling of Russia is unjustified. This is something we are addressing, and it’s also one of the reasons we are now increasing the readiness and preparedness of our forces," Stoltenberg said."We are responding by making sure that NATO also in the future is an alliance which provides deterrence and protection for all allies against any threat."
FEARS OF A NEW ARMS RACE
Lithuanian Defence Minister Juozas Olekas said the planned deployment of U.S. military equipment in eastern Europe, including his country, was a key step to ensure the region's defensibility against growing Russian military capabilities."We have no other possibilities. If we did nothing, we would be provoking Russia for aggression, like it was in... Ukraine," Olekas told Reuters.
Nato rebukes Putin's 'nuclear rhetoric' By Andrew Rettman-june 16,15-euobserver
BRUSSELS, Today, 20:07-Nato has accused Russia of “nuclear sabre-rattling” after Vladimir Putin said he’ll deploy 40 new missiles.The Russian leader made the announcement on Tuesday (16 June) at an arms fair in Kubinka, near Moscow.“This year, our nuclear forces are going to get more than 40 intercontinental ballistic missiles [ICBMs] capable of penetrating all existing, even the most advanced missile defences”, he said.His deputy defence minister, Anatoly Antonov, who is on an EU blacklist over Russia's invasion of Ukraine, linked the news to US plans to position tanks and F-22 jets in eastern Europe.“It looks like our colleagues from Nato member states are pushing us into an arms race”, he said.The ICBM announcement prompted a rebuke from Nato secretary general Jens Stoltenberg.He said, while visiting the European Commission in Brussels the same day, that “Russia is using nuclear rhetoric more in the way they’re messaging their defence strategy”.“This nuclear sabre-rattling is unjustified. It’s destabilising. It’s dangerous”.He said Nato deployment in eastern Europe is “proportionate, defensive, and fully in line with our international commitments".He also said it comes because "we’re seeing a Russia which is more assertive and which is responsible for aggressive actions, especially in Ukraine”.
Old news
For his part, Pavel Podvig, a Russian military expert who works for the UN’s Institute for Disarmament Research in Geneva, played down the importance of the ICBMs.He told EUobserver Russia has about 300 of them in service, as well as nuclear submarines and strategic bombers.He also said its rearmament programme began before the Ukraine crisis. “It [the 40 new ICBMs] is not a particularly big increase in numbers. It’s business as usual”.Igor Sutyagin, a Russia expert at Rusi, a UK defence think tank, said Russia is likely to retire about 60 ICBMs this year, resulting in a net decrease.He said some of its Soviet-era missiles are inferior to what the UK and the US had in the 1970s.He added that its heaviest ICBM, the R-36, used to be serviced by Uzmash, a Ukrainian firm. But co-operation stopped due to the war, posing the question: “Does the Russian military believe it can still count on them to detach their payload?”.
Nuclear rhetoric
The analysts echoed Stoltenberg on “nuclear rhetoric”.“Russia is trying to send the signal it’s crazy enough to escalate to a nuclear level if it comes to that”, Podvig said.Referring to Western states' refusal to arm Ukraine, he added: “It’s hard to know what would happen in reality … but Putin is counting on the West to back down when confronted with the prospect of escalation and to some extent it’s working”.Sutyagin said Putin's aggrandisement of Russia's nuclear arsenal is also internal propaganda.“It's the only remaining tool in his possession to claim the status of a great power”, he said.“Oil and gas is being lost due to substitution of Russian exports in the West. He’s losing his favourite energy weapon. The economy is weak and declining. Russian soft power is purely negative. So, what else does he have?”.

China says about to finish some land reclamation in South China Sea-By Sui-Lee Wee and David Brunnstrom-Reuters-June 16, 2015-yahoonews
BEIJING/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - China will soon complete some of its land reclamation on the Spratly islands in the disputed South China Sea, the Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday, indicating that Beijing is close to setting up new outposts in the maritime heart of Southeast Asia.The United States, which has called for a halt in China's island building in the South China Sea, said it had "noted" Beijing's announcement, but was concerned about its plans for more construction work, including for military defense."China's stated plans do not contribute to a reduction in tensions, support the emergence of diplomatic and peaceful solutions, or bolster China's disputed maritime claims," a State Department spokesperson said.China stepped up its creation of artificial islands last year, alarming several countries in Asia and drawing growing criticism from Washington. There have been recent tensions between the Chinese navy and the U.S. military around the Spratlys.The Foreign Ministry did not say which of the seven reefs undergoing reclamation would be finished soon but said this was "in accordance with the set work plan". It gave no timeframe, but said China would build facilities on the islands to "fulfill the relevant functions".It reiterated the islands would help with maritime search and rescue, disaster relief, environmental protection and offer navigational assistance as well as have undefined military purposes.The ministry said the work would not affect freedom of navigation and overflight in the South China Sea.China claims most of the South China Sea, through which $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei have overlapping claims.China's construction work and cyber attacks on U.S. government computers that U.S. officials have blamed on China have raised tensions ahead of next week's U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue, the key annual meeting between the world's two largest economies.Mira Rapp Hooper, a South China Sea expert at Washington's Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank, said China's announcement about a planned end to construction work may have been timed with the aim of reducing the diplomatic temperature ahead of that June 22-24 meeting, but did not indicate any change in Chinese policy.Recent satellite images have shown a hive of work on China's new islands. U.S. officials say China has reclaimed 1,500 acres of land this year alone.Military facilities under construction include a 3,000-metre (10,000-foot) runway and airborne early warning radars, which could be operational by the year-end, according to one U.S. commander.

Palestinian president announces government will dissolve-MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH-Associated Press-June 16, 2015-yahoonews
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas announced the national unity government he formed with Hamas last year will dissolve.Abbas did not make any mention of a timetable for resignation in his announcement Tuesday night. But it is expected within days.Abbas said the move was "because Hamas didn't let it work in Gaza."The government was formed last year before the war between the Islamic militant group Hamas and Israel. It came after years of feuding between the rival Palestinian groups.But the government did not function well and the sides have argued over how to carry out reconstruction of the war-battered Gaza Strip and other issues.Hamas violently seized Gaza from Abbas forces in 2007, leaving him governing just parts of the West Bank.
Israeli Source Confirms 'Indirect Contacts' with Hamas-Israeli source confirms indirect contacts between Israel and Hamas on the entry of materials to Gaza in exchange for quiet."By Elad Benari-First Publish: 6/17/2015, 1:13 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
An Israeli source confirmed on Tuesday night there had been indirect contacts between Israel and Hamas, hours after sources in the terrorist group said Israel and Hamas have been holding indirect contacts about ideas for cementing a long-term truce in Gaza."There are contacts with Egypt and other elements over an easing of the blockade and the entry of materials to Gaza in exchange for quiet," the Israeli source told AFP."But Hamas is finding it difficult to control Islamic Jihad and other elements in order to do this," he said, referring to the recent flurry of sporadic rocket fire from Gaza, most of which have been claimed by a small Islamic extremist group bent on challenging the ruling Hamas movement.A source with Hamas told AFP earlier that the contacts with Israel have gone through a number of Arab and European channels in a bid to firm up an informal ceasefire agreement that took hold last August, ending a 50-day war in Gaza started when Hamas escalated its rocket attacks on Israeli civilian centers."There has been indirect contact between Israel and Hamas, messages passed via Arab channels as well as through European and Turkish sources," one of the sources said, describing it as "an indirect exchange of ideas."The Egyptian-brokered truce came into effect on August 26, with the sides pledging to resume indirect contacts within a month to pin down a lasting ceasefire and discuss crunch issues.But the follow-up talks were delayed several times and never formally resumed."We are ready for an agreement. Hamas wants to solve the problems in Gaza," the source said. But he insisted the contacts were purely informal and that there was no formal initiative or proposal on the table.Tuesday’s report confirms an earlier report from May which said the sides were holding secret negotiations on finding a way to deliver goods more efficiently to Gaza.Those reports described the talks as being directly between Israel and Hamas, and taking place in various European capitals, under the authority of Turkey.Even as it negotiates an extension of the ceasefire, Hamas has been secretly rebuilding its terrorist attack tunnels into Israeli territory and developing its domestic rocket arsenal for its next attack against Israel; last summer's war was the group's third attempt to destroy the Jewish state.
Israel Makes 'Historic' Temple Mount Concessions for Ramadan-Defense Ministry announces 'firsts' in easing security checks, including direct buses to Mount, hundreds of Gazan visitors.By Ari Yashar-First Publish: 6/16/2015, 7:47 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
The Defense Ministry announced Tuesday that it is making unprecedented "gestures" and is letting in hundreds of Arab residents of Gaza, Judea and Samaria to pray at the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount - the holiest site in Judaism - for the Muslim month of Ramadan.The announcement on eased traveling regulations comes a day before Ramadan begins, and may strike many as controversial given that the Jordanian Waqf has been allowed to ban Jewish prayer on the Mount, despite Israeli laws ensuring freedom of religion and freedom of worship.Arab men aged over 40 and all Arab women in Judea-Samaria will have access to the Mount, and 800 Arab residents of Gaza will be allowed in for Friday prayers. Another 500 Arabs in Judea-Samaria will be let into Gaza, 300 Palestinian Arabs living abroad will be allowed into Gaza to visit family, and 500 Arab residents of Judea-Samaria will be permitted to fly from Ben-Gurion International Airport."For the first time, the arrival of worshipers will be allowed via bus directly from the city centers to the Temple Mount," Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai announced, indicating that Arab residents of Judea and Samaria will have direct access from their cities in a "first," with security checks presumably being conducted there by Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces."The IDF will allow the entry of all Palestinians, men and women without a special permit, with the exception of men between the ages of 30 to 40," he added. "The departure of 500 residents from Judea and Samaria abroad via Ben Gurion Airport has been confirmed, and 500 families from the Gaza Strip have been approved to visit residents of Judea and Samaria."The ministry statement noted an additional first, saying "for the first time, 200 families from Gaza have been approved to visit residents in the West Bank during Ramadan and the Eid-al-Fitr holiday."Israel began allowing Gaza residents to pray at the Mount on Fridays last October as a "gesture" following last summer's terror war by Hamas in the coastal enclave against the Jewish state, and has continued allowing hundreds to come on Fridays since then.It has been the first time since 2007, when Hamas took control over Gaza, that Muslim worshippers from Gaza were allowed to visit the Mount according to leftist groups. Gazans have taken advantage of the gesture by staging protests and waving flags in support of Hamas on the Mount.Jews have by contrast been forbidden from praying at the holy site, and are even forbidden from bringing Jewish symbols with them to the Temple Mount - those symbols have at times even included grape juice.
New Gaza Flotilla Threat on the Horizon This Month-Showdown to take place final week of June and include senior international figures - will it end in violence and global condemnation again?By Dalit Halevy, Ari Yashar-First Publish: 6/13/2015, 11:44 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
"Freedom Flotilla 3," a maritime challenge to Israel's legal naval blockade on the coastal enclave of Gaza which is controlled by the Hamas terrorist organization, is preparing to embark in the final week of June and threatens to potentially cause a flare-up like the infamous 2010 Mavi Marmara.Mazen Kahil, head of the European Campaign to Break the Siege on Gaza, told the Hamas journal Palestine on Saturday that the flotilla ships are currently in the Mediterranean Sea.The ships are waiting to join the Swedish ship Marianne, which recently anchored in Italy, on the open sea and from there continue as a unified group towards Gaza, where they intend to confront the Israeli Navy - potentially with lethal force as was seen in the Marmara. Kahil detailed that senior public figures, including former Tunisian President Muncef Marzouki, members of the European Parliament, journalists, athletes, artists, as well as radical leftist Israelis will be on board.He claimed that symbolic humanitarian materials will be loaded on board the ships to demand Gaza's naval entry be opened - despite the fact that Israel is allowing hundreds of truckloads of humanitarian and construction materials to enter Gaza border crossings every day, even as Hamas rebuilds its terror tunnels for the next round of fighting.The equipment to be loaded on the ships include solar receptors, children's medicines and medical equipment.Leaders of the flotilla estimate that Israel will once again block the naval breach and defend its maritime blockade, but they expressed optimism that they would be able to eventually reach Gaza and open a water route for Hamas that Israel has warned would serve as a port for Iran on the Mediterranean.In the 2010 flotilla, the Turkish Mavi Marmara, which claimed to be providing "humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza," defied orders to turn around and dock at the Ashdod port.After it ignored repeated warnings to change course, the IDF boarded the vessel - only to be attacked by Islamist extremists on board wielding knives and metal bars. The wounded soldiers had no choice but to open fire, resulting in the deaths of ten of the IHH members on board.After an investigation, Israeli authorities discovered the vessel to be carrying no humanitarian aid - in fact, no aid supplies at all - indicating how the true goal of the provocative move was to open Gaza to free naval access, which it has consistently used to smuggle in weapons to be targeted against Israel.

Moscow also reserves the right to deploy nuclear arms in Crimea.Such comments have helped whip up anti-Western sentiment and rally support behind Putin but have caused disquiet in the West, particularly countries on or near Russia's borders that were under Soviet domination during the Cold War.Responding quickly to Putin's remarks, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg accused Russia of unwarranted "saber rattling" and said this was "destabilizing and dangerous".At a news briefing in Brussels, Stoltenberg said such rhetoric from Moscow explained the Western alliance's increased preparedness on the part of its forces to defend its member states closest to Russia."This nuclear sabre-rattling of Russia is unjustified. This is something we are addressing, and it’s also one of the reasons we are now increasing the readiness and preparedness of our forces," Stoltenberg said."We are responding by making sure that NATO also in the future is an alliance which provides deterrence and protection for all allies against any threat."
FEARS OF A NEW ARMS RACE
Lithuanian Defence Minister Juozas Olekas said the planned deployment of U.S. military equipment in eastern Europe, including his country, was a key step to ensure the region's defensibility against growing Russian military capabilities."We have no other possibilities. If we did nothing, we would be provoking Russia for aggression, like it was in... Ukraine," Olekas told Reuters.
Nato rebukes Putin's 'nuclear rhetoric' By Andrew Rettman-june 16,15-euobserver
BRUSSELS, Today, 20:07-Nato has accused Russia of “nuclear sabre-rattling” after Vladimir Putin said he’ll deploy 40 new missiles.The Russian leader made the announcement on Tuesday (16 June) at an arms fair in Kubinka, near Moscow.“This year, our nuclear forces are going to get more than 40 intercontinental ballistic missiles [ICBMs] capable of penetrating all existing, even the most advanced missile defences”, he said.His deputy defence minister, Anatoly Antonov, who is on an EU blacklist over Russia's invasion of Ukraine, linked the news to US plans to position tanks and F-22 jets in eastern Europe.“It looks like our colleagues from Nato member states are pushing us into an arms race”, he said.The ICBM announcement prompted a rebuke from Nato secretary general Jens Stoltenberg.He said, while visiting the European Commission in Brussels the same day, that “Russia is using nuclear rhetoric more in the way they’re messaging their defence strategy”.“This nuclear sabre-rattling is unjustified. It’s destabilising. It’s dangerous”.He said Nato deployment in eastern Europe is “proportionate, defensive, and fully in line with our international commitments".He also said it comes because "we’re seeing a Russia which is more assertive and which is responsible for aggressive actions, especially in Ukraine”.
Old news
For his part, Pavel Podvig, a Russian military expert who works for the UN’s Institute for Disarmament Research in Geneva, played down the importance of the ICBMs.He told EUobserver Russia has about 300 of them in service, as well as nuclear submarines and strategic bombers.He also said its rearmament programme began before the Ukraine crisis. “It [the 40 new ICBMs] is not a particularly big increase in numbers. It’s business as usual”.Igor Sutyagin, a Russia expert at Rusi, a UK defence think tank, said Russia is likely to retire about 60 ICBMs this year, resulting in a net decrease.He said some of its Soviet-era missiles are inferior to what the UK and the US had in the 1970s.He added that its heaviest ICBM, the R-36, used to be serviced by Uzmash, a Ukrainian firm. But co-operation stopped due to the war, posing the question: “Does the Russian military believe it can still count on them to detach their payload?”.
Nuclear rhetoric
The analysts echoed Stoltenberg on “nuclear rhetoric”.“Russia is trying to send the signal it’s crazy enough to escalate to a nuclear level if it comes to that”, Podvig said.Referring to Western states' refusal to arm Ukraine, he added: “It’s hard to know what would happen in reality … but Putin is counting on the West to back down when confronted with the prospect of escalation and to some extent it’s working”.Sutyagin said Putin's aggrandisement of Russia's nuclear arsenal is also internal propaganda.“It's the only remaining tool in his possession to claim the status of a great power”, he said.“Oil and gas is being lost due to substitution of Russian exports in the West. He’s losing his favourite energy weapon. The economy is weak and declining. Russian soft power is purely negative. So, what else does he have?”.

China says about to finish some land reclamation in South China Sea-By Sui-Lee Wee and David Brunnstrom-Reuters-June 16, 2015-yahoonews
BEIJING/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - China will soon complete some of its land reclamation on the Spratly islands in the disputed South China Sea, the Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday, indicating that Beijing is close to setting up new outposts in the maritime heart of Southeast Asia.The United States, which has called for a halt in China's island building in the South China Sea, said it had "noted" Beijing's announcement, but was concerned about its plans for more construction work, including for military defense."China's stated plans do not contribute to a reduction in tensions, support the emergence of diplomatic and peaceful solutions, or bolster China's disputed maritime claims," a State Department spokesperson said.China stepped up its creation of artificial islands last year, alarming several countries in Asia and drawing growing criticism from Washington. There have been recent tensions between the Chinese navy and the U.S. military around the Spratlys.The Foreign Ministry did not say which of the seven reefs undergoing reclamation would be finished soon but said this was "in accordance with the set work plan". It gave no timeframe, but said China would build facilities on the islands to "fulfill the relevant functions".It reiterated the islands would help with maritime search and rescue, disaster relief, environmental protection and offer navigational assistance as well as have undefined military purposes.The ministry said the work would not affect freedom of navigation and overflight in the South China Sea.China claims most of the South China Sea, through which $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei have overlapping claims.China's construction work and cyber attacks on U.S. government computers that U.S. officials have blamed on China have raised tensions ahead of next week's U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue, the key annual meeting between the world's two largest economies.Mira Rapp Hooper, a South China Sea expert at Washington's Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank, said China's announcement about a planned end to construction work may have been timed with the aim of reducing the diplomatic temperature ahead of that June 22-24 meeting, but did not indicate any change in Chinese policy.Recent satellite images have shown a hive of work on China's new islands. U.S. officials say China has reclaimed 1,500 acres of land this year alone.Military facilities under construction include a 3,000-metre (10,000-foot) runway and airborne early warning radars, which could be operational by the year-end, according to one U.S. commander.

Palestinian president announces government will dissolve-MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH-Associated Press-June 16, 2015-yahoonews
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas announced the national unity government he formed with Hamas last year will dissolve.Abbas did not make any mention of a timetable for resignation in his announcement Tuesday night. But it is expected within days.Abbas said the move was "because Hamas didn't let it work in Gaza."The government was formed last year before the war between the Islamic militant group Hamas and Israel. It came after years of feuding between the rival Palestinian groups.But the government did not function well and the sides have argued over how to carry out reconstruction of the war-battered Gaza Strip and other issues.Hamas violently seized Gaza from Abbas forces in 2007, leaving him governing just parts of the West Bank.
Israeli Source Confirms 'Indirect Contacts' with Hamas-Israeli source confirms indirect contacts between Israel and Hamas on the entry of materials to Gaza in exchange for quiet."By Elad Benari-First Publish: 6/17/2015, 1:13 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
An Israeli source confirmed on Tuesday night there had been indirect contacts between Israel and Hamas, hours after sources in the terrorist group said Israel and Hamas have been holding indirect contacts about ideas for cementing a long-term truce in Gaza."There are contacts with Egypt and other elements over an easing of the blockade and the entry of materials to Gaza in exchange for quiet," the Israeli source told AFP."But Hamas is finding it difficult to control Islamic Jihad and other elements in order to do this," he said, referring to the recent flurry of sporadic rocket fire from Gaza, most of which have been claimed by a small Islamic extremist group bent on challenging the ruling Hamas movement.A source with Hamas told AFP earlier that the contacts with Israel have gone through a number of Arab and European channels in a bid to firm up an informal ceasefire agreement that took hold last August, ending a 50-day war in Gaza started when Hamas escalated its rocket attacks on Israeli civilian centers."There has been indirect contact between Israel and Hamas, messages passed via Arab channels as well as through European and Turkish sources," one of the sources said, describing it as "an indirect exchange of ideas."The Egyptian-brokered truce came into effect on August 26, with the sides pledging to resume indirect contacts within a month to pin down a lasting ceasefire and discuss crunch issues.But the follow-up talks were delayed several times and never formally resumed."We are ready for an agreement. Hamas wants to solve the problems in Gaza," the source said. But he insisted the contacts were purely informal and that there was no formal initiative or proposal on the table.Tuesday’s report confirms an earlier report from May which said the sides were holding secret negotiations on finding a way to deliver goods more efficiently to Gaza.Those reports described the talks as being directly between Israel and Hamas, and taking place in various European capitals, under the authority of Turkey.Even as it negotiates an extension of the ceasefire, Hamas has been secretly rebuilding its terrorist attack tunnels into Israeli territory and developing its domestic rocket arsenal for its next attack against Israel; last summer's war was the group's third attempt to destroy the Jewish state.
Israel Makes 'Historic' Temple Mount Concessions for Ramadan-Defense Ministry announces 'firsts' in easing security checks, including direct buses to Mount, hundreds of Gazan visitors.By Ari Yashar-First Publish: 6/16/2015, 7:47 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
The Defense Ministry announced Tuesday that it is making unprecedented "gestures" and is letting in hundreds of Arab residents of Gaza, Judea and Samaria to pray at the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount - the holiest site in Judaism - for the Muslim month of Ramadan.The announcement on eased traveling regulations comes a day before Ramadan begins, and may strike many as controversial given that the Jordanian Waqf has been allowed to ban Jewish prayer on the Mount, despite Israeli laws ensuring freedom of religion and freedom of worship.Arab men aged over 40 and all Arab women in Judea-Samaria will have access to the Mount, and 800 Arab residents of Gaza will be allowed in for Friday prayers. Another 500 Arabs in Judea-Samaria will be let into Gaza, 300 Palestinian Arabs living abroad will be allowed into Gaza to visit family, and 500 Arab residents of Judea-Samaria will be permitted to fly from Ben-Gurion International Airport."For the first time, the arrival of worshipers will be allowed via bus directly from the city centers to the Temple Mount," Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai announced, indicating that Arab residents of Judea and Samaria will have direct access from their cities in a "first," with security checks presumably being conducted there by Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces."The IDF will allow the entry of all Palestinians, men and women without a special permit, with the exception of men between the ages of 30 to 40," he added. "The departure of 500 residents from Judea and Samaria abroad via Ben Gurion Airport has been confirmed, and 500 families from the Gaza Strip have been approved to visit residents of Judea and Samaria."The ministry statement noted an additional first, saying "for the first time, 200 families from Gaza have been approved to visit residents in the West Bank during Ramadan and the Eid-al-Fitr holiday."Israel began allowing Gaza residents to pray at the Mount on Fridays last October as a "gesture" following last summer's terror war by Hamas in the coastal enclave against the Jewish state, and has continued allowing hundreds to come on Fridays since then.It has been the first time since 2007, when Hamas took control over Gaza, that Muslim worshippers from Gaza were allowed to visit the Mount according to leftist groups. Gazans have taken advantage of the gesture by staging protests and waving flags in support of Hamas on the Mount.Jews have by contrast been forbidden from praying at the holy site, and are even forbidden from bringing Jewish symbols with them to the Temple Mount - those symbols have at times even included grape juice.
New Gaza Flotilla Threat on the Horizon This Month-Showdown to take place final week of June and include senior international figures - will it end in violence and global condemnation again?By Dalit Halevy, Ari Yashar-First Publish: 6/13/2015, 11:44 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
"Freedom Flotilla 3," a maritime challenge to Israel's legal naval blockade on the coastal enclave of Gaza which is controlled by the Hamas terrorist organization, is preparing to embark in the final week of June and threatens to potentially cause a flare-up like the infamous 2010 Mavi Marmara.Mazen Kahil, head of the European Campaign to Break the Siege on Gaza, told the Hamas journal Palestine on Saturday that the flotilla ships are currently in the Mediterranean Sea.The ships are waiting to join the Swedish ship Marianne, which recently anchored in Italy, on the open sea and from there continue as a unified group towards Gaza, where they intend to confront the Israeli Navy - potentially with lethal force as was seen in the Marmara. Kahil detailed that senior public figures, including former Tunisian President Muncef Marzouki, members of the European Parliament, journalists, athletes, artists, as well as radical leftist Israelis will be on board.He claimed that symbolic humanitarian materials will be loaded on board the ships to demand Gaza's naval entry be opened - despite the fact that Israel is allowing hundreds of truckloads of humanitarian and construction materials to enter Gaza border crossings every day, even as Hamas rebuilds its terror tunnels for the next round of fighting.The equipment to be loaded on the ships include solar receptors, children's medicines and medical equipment.Leaders of the flotilla estimate that Israel will once again block the naval breach and defend its maritime blockade, but they expressed optimism that they would be able to eventually reach Gaza and open a water route for Hamas that Israel has warned would serve as a port for Iran on the Mediterranean.In the 2010 flotilla, the Turkish Mavi Marmara, which claimed to be providing "humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza," defied orders to turn around and dock at the Ashdod port.After it ignored repeated warnings to change course, the IDF boarded the vessel - only to be attacked by Islamist extremists on board wielding knives and metal bars. The wounded soldiers had no choice but to open fire, resulting in the deaths of ten of the IHH members on board.After an investigation, Israeli authorities discovered the vessel to be carrying no humanitarian aid - in fact, no aid supplies at all - indicating how the true goal of the provocative move was to open Gaza to free naval access, which it has consistently used to smuggle in weapons to be targeted against Israel.
